Hi, I'm Arlene Grace N

I'm a southeast San Diego native, the oldest daughter of Filipino immigrants, and a current Master's in Clinical Research student at the UC San Diego School of Medicine. I attended UCSD for the entirety of my undergraduate career, double majoring in Molecular and Cell Biology and a self-designed Individual Studies Major called Community Research, Education, and Well-Being with minors in Public Service (Health) and Ethnic Studies (It's a lot, I know). During my time in college, I participated in self-led social sciences research projects, served as an undergraduate instructional assistant (UGIA) for education studies and anthropology courses, and worked as a research assistant in a bioengineering lab (and I still work here now as a graduate student!) I'm happy to keep it real as I show you around UCSD. Whether it be me telling you what the best study spots are, giving you recommendations on underrated food places, sharing the tea on professors you should and shouldn't take, offering suggestions on where you can park for free, and overall, encouraging you how to make the most of your time in San Diego while you're a student. I hope you consider booking a tour with me, and I look forward to hearing from you soon! :)
